Fancy Feminine French Heel Stockings For Men

Pictured to the right is the always
lovely Cyndie, who inspired this article with these gorgeous
stockings and heels. What is Cyndie wearing? A lovely pair of french
heel stockings!

French heel stockings hearken from a
time when wearers would quite often wear through the heel of their
stockings. Stockings were therefore reinforced with extra nylon,
which created a very distinctive shape which could sometimes be
observed above the wearer's shoe. Upon discovering that this often
occurred, some clever lingerie designer designed to make a feature
out of it. French heel stockings therefore climb pyramid-style up the
leg. Other similar styles include the Cuban heel and the Havana heel.
Havana heels apparently finish higher and more pointily than Cuban
heels which are more kind of chunky and whatnot.

Soon enough, as with the seams on the
backs of stockings, this 'ooh I can see your heels' look became
associated with femininity, and although as defunct as the VCR, french heel stockings are still made today for people wishing to
recapture femininity lost in the days of yore, before women abandoned
pretty things and started wearing pants made out of sheet metal
everyday.

makes yet another appearance today, because it is almost impossible
to overlook their stockings line. They're expensive, but great. If
nothing else, take inspiration from these styles and seek out more
reasonably priced stockings elsewhere on the Internet, or perhaps
locally. Or save up and sue them for being so damn irresistible.
That's what I would do.

Diamond Back Seam

Diamond back seam stockings matched
with a french heel create a symphony of geometry that is at once
feminine and mathematical. These are interesting french heel
stockings and perhaps even advanced level french heel stockings.
Maybe you're not ready for these stockings yet. Maybe you are. Go at
your own pace.

Premier French Heel

The premier model also happens to be
the most simple model. Coincidence? I think not. This is the kind of
thinking that transforms a small coffee into a tall coffee. Don't
blame the lingerie, blame the soulless marketers. Blame them!

On the other hand, these are the
perfect beginner french heel stockings. Not too much decoration to
distract from the french heeleness of it all. You can handle these
stockings. Yes you can.

Dita's French Heel

You know something's good when Dita von
Teese is happy to hawk it. The queen of burlesque approves of French
heel stockings and really, I think this is all we need to know about
them. Clearly this lingerie has the power to net stars like Marilyn
Manson, and that's one big gothic fish. That heel reinforcement
totally works.

As a woman, I write a great deal about men who wear lingerie. To be honest, it has become rather a passion of mine over the past few years, but it wasn't always that way. This is the story of how I came upon this...

Sey stocking are things rarely seen these days.

I love the look and would love to wear some but it's just nothing without the rest of the wardrobe and heels.
